MANILA, Philippines — Over P7 million in suspected “shabu” was seized from an alleged drug trafficker in a police buy-bust in Barangay (village) Sawang Calero in Cebu City on Wednesday.
The police identified the suspect as Vanessa Lauron, 24, who yielded three large packs of illegal drugs weighing around 1.34 kilos worth P7,035,280 in the operation launched at about 12:45 a.m.
Police said they also recovered from Lauron the P7,000 marked money used in the buy-bust.
Lauron, who is in police custody, is facing charges in violation of the Republic Act 9165 or the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002, authorities said.
“The PNP’s campaign against illegal drug syndicates nets another drug supplier. We intend to pursue this until we have dismantled all drug syndicates, arrested all their members and put them behind bars, following the prescribed rules of engagement, respect for human rights and value of life,” Senior Supt. Bernard Banac, spokesperson of the PNP, said in a message sent to reporters. /cbb
